Ma Xiaohui's whole body was shaking when she just recalled the tormenting, painful and violent abuse she had experienced last night.
Of course she didn't want to live like that again. She was afraid of being beaten, and she was even more afraid of seeing He Dazhuang.
Ning He saw that she was somewhat moved, so he patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Teacher Jiang is here, don't be afraid."
Ma Xiaohui nodded gratefully to Ning He. She trusted Ning He very much.
Jiang Minke also said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely help you get a divorce!"
With Jiang Minke's words, Ma Xiaohui's tense mood relaxed a little.
Soon the car stopped downstairs of the military office building.
After Ning He and his group got off the car, they followed Jiang Minke inside.
Ning He was walking at the back holding Qian Lin's hand. Hearing footsteps behind them, Qian Lin looked back and whispered to Ning He.
"Mom, Dad is here too! He's right behind us."
Ning He didn't look back, and pulled Qian Lin up the stairs: "Lin Bao, have you had breakfast?"
Qianlin nodded: "Dad made me a cup of malted milk and boiled an egg for me."
"Mom, you went out so early in the morning. Did you miss breakfast?" Qianlin raised his head and looked at Ninghe.
Ning He smiled and patted his head: "Mom is not hungry, I will make you something delicious when I get back."
Qianlin asked again: "Can't we set up the stall today? Is Aunt Xiaohui leaving?"
Ning He looked ahead, seeing Ma Xiaohui's frail figure, and said in a much more relaxed tone: "If things go well, Aunt Xiaohui will be able to leave here."
Although Qianlin had not seen what happened last night, when he saw the hideous wounds all over Aunt Xiaohui's face, he understood everything.
Although he had not been here for long, Qianlin knew a thing or two about what was going on in the compound, like Uncle Dazhuang beating his wife, Aunt Yang next door favoring boys over girls, and outsiders slandering and belittling his mother. He knew everything.
He nodded, not quite understanding, "I support Aunt Xiaohui in leaving here."
Ning He looked at Qian Lin in surprise: "Lin Bao, what did you say?"
Qianlin looked serious, and his tone was like that of a little adult: "Mom, was Aunt Xiaohui beaten by Uncle Dazhuang last night? Beating people is wrong. I don't want Aunt Xiaohui to be with Uncle Dazhuang."
Ning He raised her lips and smiled, with an arc at the corner of her mouth: "Lin Bao, thank you."
When no one understood her actions, at least her son stood by her.
He Shaochuan heard the conversation between Ning He and Qian Lin.
His expression became even more gloomy, and He Dazhuang, who was brought here, looked a little panicked.
"Captain He, what did you bring me here for?"
He Dazhuang was still drunk. As the name suggested, the office building was where the military leaders worked.
He didn't know what Captain He brought him here for, and he was panicked for a moment.
He Shaochuan didn't say much, but strode up the stairs and said to him, "If you still want to stay in the army, follow me."
He Dazhuang swallowed his saliva. Of course he wanted to continue staying in the army.
He also wanted to achieve great things and become the head of the group.
That would be so grand and bring honor to the family. Everyone in the village would look at their family differently.
When he becomes the head of the group, why would he still care about Ma Xiaohui? Sooner or later, he will kick out this money-losing guy who can't lay eggs.
He Dazhuang didn't think any more and followed He Shaochuan upstairs.
Soon they arrived at the floor where the chief's office was located.
Ning He and Qian Lin were the only ones outside the door. Jiang Minke had already brought Ma Xiaohui into the office.
Hearing the noise, Ning He looked up and looked at the two of them levelly.
When He Dazhuang saw Ning He, his eyes suddenly widened: "Why are you here?"
Ning He said calmly: "I said I would find someone capable to handle this matter."
He Dazhuang panicked and vaguely guessed something, so he turned around and wanted to escape.
He Shaochuan grabbed He Dazhuang by the back of the collar. He looked at Ning He deeply, but spoke to He Dazhuang.
"Go in, the commander is waiting for you inside."
He Dazhuang was so frightened that he sobered up instantly.
"Chief, Chief?" He Dazhuang looked at He Shaochuan in panic and pleaded.
"Captain He, didn't you say last night that you wouldn't let me divorce Xiaohui? You promised me that you would let Xiaohui leave the army and that this matter would end here. How come this matter has reached the commander?"
Ning He found He Dazhuang's naive words ridiculous.
"I'm really sorry, but with your current abilities, I can't disobey the chief's orders just to help you."
He Dazhuang refused to give up. He yelled at the top of his voice, "No, I won't get a divorce. Even if you are the chief, you can't force me to divorce Xiaohui!"
Ning He didn't care about that. She didn't want to hear He Dazhuang making a fuss again.
She knocked on the office door and said loudly, "Chief, He Dazhuang is here."
Soon Jiang Yuanzhao's cold voice came from inside: "Let him in!"
He Dazhuang's face fell instantly.
Ning He curled the corners of her lips and said to him, "Do you want me to open the door for you?"
He Dazhuang knew that if he didn't come forward, Ning He would really open the door.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to step forward, open the door, and walk in with heavy steps.
With a bang, the office door closed, and the entire corridor suddenly became extremely quiet.
Neither Ning He nor He Shaochuan spoke.
He Shaochuan still can't believe that Ning He knows Jiang Minke.
He even recalled the days when Ning He had just come to the compound. Apart from her love of shopping and eating in the cafeteria, there was nothing unusual about her.
The only abnormal thing was that she suddenly proposed to set up a stall. Could it be that Ning He met Jiang Minke when she was setting up the stall?
Qianlin quickly noticed the abnormality between his parents. He could tell at a glance that his parents were arguing.
Qianlin didn't want to see his parents quarreling. Before, when his mother got angry, she would cry and yell at his father, and later she just ignored him. He didn't want to go back to the life he had before.
"Mom, Dad is watching you." Qianlin pulled Ninghe's hand and whispered to her.
Ning He still didn't look at He Shaochuan.
Qianlin was a little anxious. He looked at He Shaochuan again and said to him, "Dad, Mom didn't have breakfast this morning."
He Shaochuan was prepared. He took out an egg from his pocket, walked up to Ning He, and handed the egg to him.
"No matter how angry you are, don't be hard on your body."
He lowered his eyes to look at Ning He's fair and stubborn face, and his tone softened unconsciously: "The eggs are still hot, eat them while they're hot."
As he spoke, he peeled the eggshell in front of Ning He and brought the smooth, white egg to Ning He's lips.
The aroma of eggs filled her nose and Ning He's stomach growled.
"Mom's stomach is unhappy, mom, please eat quickly!" Qianlin became anxious.
Ning He reached out to take the egg, and said without any emotion: "Just because I eat the egg doesn't mean I forgive you."
He Shaochuan was right. Even if you were angry, you couldn't be hard on your body.
Ning He would never be hard on his own body. Only those who have experienced life and death will understand the preciousness of life.
